Civil War |
| I don’t know you to wear a hat |
| But I came home late and there it sat |
| You rose to show what hats are for |
| When living through a civil war |
| When living through a civil war |
| Christmas mornings and New Years Days |
| They flood with dreams and drift away |
| They cling to logs and cupboard doors |
| Riding out this civil war |
| Riding out this civil war |
| Some fighters came and pitched a tent |
| And everyone around here, we went |
| The fix was in, but we bet and we swore |
| From both sides of a civil war… |
| We build this up and we knock this down |
| We call our little mob a town |
| We nail a sign up above the door |
| «God bless our little civil war,» |
| «God bless our little civil war» |
| Three dogs at a party an a boat at night |
| Play checkers in a lantern light |
| They sing a song out to the shore |
| Of women, gold, and civil war… |
| Every truth carries blame |
| And every light reveals some shame |
| Progress rides with thieves and whores |
| The stowaways of civil war |
| The stowaways of civil war |
